Once the body is motivated to jump into physical activity, there are a few clangors to sidestep. Although, they may seem like commonsense strategies, the following pitfalls of the rookie exercise enthusiast:

Premature Gains Welcome Pain
Despite the old cliche, “no-pain, no-gain,” there is not credence to the fitness adage. Factually, it is a misnomer which only serves to present the opportunity for the cycle of no gain, just aches, more pains and the return to sedentary.

Contrary to popular belief, pain and hurt are not requirements or pre-requisites for empowering exercise. To avoid the propensity of overdoing a work-out, learn about the critical responses of the muscular system.

Too Much Activity, Too Soon
Another prevalent maneuver amongst newborn fitness buffs runs along the same vein as the “no-pain, no-gain” misnomer. Just because an individual launches a new jogging program that involves running a mile, it does not mean the person is ready to upgrade their performance to 2-miles the next week. The intensity, duration and frequency of a fitness program should never increase over 10 percent within a week’s period. What transpires when individuals do too much activity, too soon, they regimen ends up on the backburner due to injury.

Identifying Soreness Versus Pain
Many novice exercise enthusiasts are not aware of their body. As a result, it is hard distinguishing soreness from pain. For instance, it is normal to experience soreness upon the beginning of a new work-out regimen. The sign of pain is when a ‘delayed onset muscle soreness’ transpires. Although soreness is not immediately experienced, pain transpires a couple of days later. This is an indicator of over extending oneself after a work out session.
